FlowaMasta's Methodology @ How to Grow Monster pound plants!!! ( Jack H X Skunk )

[eastcoastmo]

Loving that earscoastmo!!! I gotta get this weight up. But the quality is DAMN good for my first try at hydro!!

Good work dude, the only way is up from here

Hello flowamaster,just wow 50 day and so much sugar...love the samsung.
just now lighting a blunt and typing hehe...been thinking too much about what to say...and forgot half the hit I was meaning to say to you...hehe.
Anyway I think you are #1 in my top 3 riu growers,#2 scottyballs,#3 al b fuct.
hold on going to take a toke...be right back

bye the way,like your avatar...my gal is 24 and has nice boobs too.

back to business;
I got a 1 line drip top feed and your right,it sucks...need the circle drip...but I ain't got no money to up grade and it shows in dry weight for sure.

green crack?...one of 1500 strains on leafly.com,probably all bullshit too!

say got a question....just started a soda pop can clone in water under 2 tube 4 foot fl...i change water everyday...do you think them fuckers will root?

LOL Maaaaaan that might stir some pots hehe but really!? thanx man, wow i shall try my best to remain humble and not huge headed

Got a pic of your girls boobs? jk sort of.... lol Gotta love boobies

What are you starting the clones in? I have succesfuly cloned with water only but i use cloning gel like replicator by dutch masters and i have a 100% success rate with all. A low wattage fluro is all thats needed. Untill you pull the HPS out

Just a thought on a DiY feed ring. Couldn't u simply make one out of some 1/2 pvc tubes (or smaller, if available) with the 90* elbows or if they have 45* ones. Or the tubing they use in homes now for plumbing. Then just drill your own holes at approximate distances to even out the flow/dispersal. Also if that would work, start with the smallest holes/drill bit possible. Can always make the hole bigger, but to big and u'd have to replace the piece or unit to start with smaller holes. Just an idea, not sure if it would work, just to get by till one could afford the actual piece needed. Peace!!

That girl looks amazing Flowa!!! I meant to ask if you ended up adding more of the uvb lighting or still just the one bulb?

Thanx man!!! Ofcourse you could shimmy one out of some pvc, I think the feed-rings i use are just fashioned out of some small flexible UV resistant plastic hose with small holes and nipples inserted. Very basic i have the nipples at the top so the ring fills with water first and then flows out the nipples, If you have them upside down the water may not reach the whole way around the ring. But with a good flowing pump around 800-1000 litres per hour is adequate.

I didn't use extra UVB lighting this round instead i chose to put a 2nd 600 HPS in there for week 5 & 6 for 4 hours per night but only during the cooler nights, to help maintain a good regular humidity and temps stayed warm and humid. Humidity was dropping below 20% without the 2nd light during the cooler nights so it was used to increase energy to lower buds and to maintain a good temperature. My air-cooled hood is a little OVER-KILL and i can run lower than 23 degrees in my tent with the light on, so increasing my temps is actually my issues now, even in summer lol. My house runs A/C everyday and its a 3500 watt AC cooling the house.... It helps with humidity also as the house is old and climate is quite dry. Great for growing in if you understand the nature of it..

Hypnotized. Almost forgot there was a scrog there. As she packs on weight what do you use to keep it from collapsing? More string? Ever had a nightmare of the tent falling in on itself or her turning somewhat like lil shop of horror?

Yes i have had a few issues in the past. My original tent with my first 2 grows was quite a learning experience. If i pulled the net too tight it would bend the tent poles in, but to gain the extra support chains, string, wire its all over the place EVERY GROW. The net is almost useless at the moment, weight has made her a basket basically but i always allow for this, and spread my colas out as much as i can as i KNOW these things can get big quick, so when they start to fall over they fall in a given direction and not into each other. This is somewhat a special skill knowing how big and where the flowers will grow largest which i seem to fluke each grow!

She certainly is a work of art Flowa! You shall now be known as the 'Picasso' of the growing world

Love ya work man! thanx heaps!!!

^^^^ that's what I'm talking bout! Flowa u r truly amazing bro!! I have a idea. U should move here live with me for 3 months I'll pay for everything, and teach me the ways of the Masta!!! What do think?? I know, sounds "GREAT" right!! I'll even take u out on my boat and we can do some fishing when we're not watching the lady grow!! Lol

LOL i'm also in need of a break, non stop for 6 grows now, time to properly relax and enjoy ones fruits and benefits

Hey guys thanks for helping expand my search for containers! After some more in depth googling, I've come across some great options for us in the states. I'll end up using Tuff Stuff Muck Buckets. They're 70qt's, and come in BLACK. Drilling 4mm holes for drainage, and using a 3/4" line for return should work well. Hey Flowa- I can't wait to see your final dry weight. Those pics are awesome!

That sounds like a good combo to me Make sure you clean the pots out well each grow especially the 4mm holes and you'll have no problem.

Shit dude, if Flowa says no, i'm in

HA!! Mate you know how to do it Its all here hopefully!! i better get to it soon.

Buds & Boobs....naturals way to please a grower.
Just took a reading on the meter...10/31-12/31 used 1600kw @ .20 cut down half the buds and letting the rest of em fill out.
Still using the standard nute strength.Can you really tell if bud is flushed out or not?

 

[buzworthy]

Happy new years!

 

[flowamasta]

Happy New Years All!!!!! Well, I had a busy New Years, let me tell you guys!! it entailed this :

Part 1 Harvest time Jack x Skunk Gen 3.

 

[flowamasta]

Part 1 above!!!! Part 2 Harvest

Big stuff hangin up as usual, small stuff in the rack The big stuff ends up in the drying rack once its dry enough to hold shape, i don't like squashed Colas!!! I like them as they were growing glistening with crystals

 

[Shaggn]

Happy New Year Flowa. Damn those colas are thick. Look forward to your weigh-in and smoke report!! The cola on the scale will be 14-21g (very nice) What do your think about her final weight. Does it look to be higher than your last one? (amount of space taken to hang all the colas) Looks nice n frosty and hopefully not as knock-out as your previous. I usually run a sog and take a bunch down early for my own smoke. I want a more up/sativa high, not the wake up wondering what happened high lol. Peace!!

 

[eastcoastmo]

Holy fuck Flowa there is a lot of fine quality ganja there a Stella effort once again hey! Even the buds underneath look nice and thick too

Happy New Year man! Hope you and your mrs have a great 2013 and can't wait to see Jack x Skunk Gen 4

Thanx man! That sounds like a good guess on that cola for sure This has definitely taken up alot more room, as in the Colas have anyway. It's always a good surprise once you pull a cola off and realize how big it actually is!! always bigger than it looks in the tent, The Colas are on par with density with my last grow so i think its safe to say there's a couple more ounces in total, the lower stuff will help to my numbers with the addition of the other light, i only wish i could of had the right lighting to do it properly either side with cooling hoods, i may look into LED lighting for underneath alone, it makes great sense!! My lower buds are bigger, heavier and thicker, the stems could not support their weight and i was harvesting many buds with leaves growing twisted as the buds turn upside down with weight!

She's definitely frosty, I'm sue you can tell i went the couple of days earlier than last grow which left some clear trichomes towards the tips of the sugar leaves, but the buds are thick and shiny with milky resin. I would say after todays maturing as they hang dry slowly with the AC CRANKING and EVAP also to keep the humidity up around 65% My end product should be a fairly consistent ratio of atleast 80-90% milk white resin sphere's. Some people would like a warm room to dry in, BUT this would speed up my drying dramatically and amber out trichomes early as the outside of the buds will lose moisture quicker than the centre. I want everything a cool 21 degrees ambient with a fan in the room but not blowing on the ganja. I just have 1 carbon filter attachment with the 440 fan, massive over-kill, and another in the roof for house smell that might get sucked up by the bathroom or kitchen fans, which constantly run due to the massive vacuum the room creates.... I MUST have fresh air coming into the house with a plant this size, mould spores would run rampant in a stale environment. I make it very difficult for them to thrive with the given amount of circulation. So far A OK, not a pinch of crud anywhere to be seen, there was a little popcorn thrown in the hash mix as some could not find the light, and were hidden completely from some huge colas. Nothing to worry about. I don't even know how the lower stuff even grew because of the shear thickness of the top canopy!! I'm amazed at what the 2nd light did across the entire bottom section, a well fluked measure if i do say so myself I'll wait for the electricity bill... work out if its at all a loss.

Not many people would harvest this early, but i flushed early and have checked the plant thoroughly, talked it over with my other half, and after testing samples taken over a week ago, the mature stuff will be fantastic! Beautiful taste back then so can't wait for the mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... NOW!!! slowly drying away!!! I'm so glad i have ROCK solid patience. I can wait and wait...... until the moment and time is right. We will be taking a break after this grow to enjoy our fruits, and thinking of visiting a few places in the near future, so Not ending as such, but having a break, 'On a high Note' after weigh in and smoke report. I got my phone with RIU so ill be always checking in to see if there's any 'Flowa Grows' and before you know it i'll have a surprise secret strain to bring to you all which is already in the woodworks. I'm going for flavour and resin.... lol again, potency is usually ok when you got fat resin happening

Holy fuck Flowa there is a lot of fine quality ganja there a Stella effort once again hey! Even the buds underneath look nice and thick too

Happy New Year man! Hope you and your mrs have a great 2013 and can't wait to see Jack x Skunk Gen 4

Thanx Easty!!! wow oh wow, am i rooted!!! I'm still trimming away, got the most insane smelling sugar trim!!!

There will be a new strain when i return after this weigh in and smoke report I will keep this growing, i have a friend who has 2 Jack skunks outside and they are ridiculous, and not to mention my outdoory which i should update and perhaps create a thread on some time! she's huuuuge!!! where am i gonna hide her?? I'm going to have to think of something cause she's getting ready to bLOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Cheers for being here the whole way Easty!! Kept me amused and entertained

This hot weather has got the AC struggling to keep up, its making nothing but humidity and the damn things nearly packs it in every couple of hours especially in this crazy heat! So my grow/drying room is running a warm 23 degrees a little warmer than i'd like but i cannot get it any cooler! this summer may be difficult to grow indica in my tent anyway, the heat is going to make crazy humidity... oh well a rest is whats needed i think, the outdoor can do its own thing, shit that reminds me i'll take a pic when the sun gets lower! I still have about half an ounce of smokable outdoor buds from that, the ugliest re-veged buds you've ever seen! so NO no pics wait till shes flowered again i'm going to have to support her BIGTIME!!! each branch has about 1 colas coming out of them!!!

Awesome!! Look forward to your updates. Nice, can't wait to see what your next strain is. I'm sure you and your mrs could use a holiday. If you're ever thinking of travelling afar, Check out Canada Have a nice holiday n be safe

I love you Canadians is it still so that there has only been 1 gun related crime in so many years!? that is incredible. if it is so!!!! The TV shows we have over here have people they say live in Canada and they are all the nicest people lol... whats that mothers show called again.....? Thats right, 'How i met your mother' Funny shit! I can never pick an american accent on TV but in life, awesome soo cool!

Thanx for being here!! Who knows!? we will be traveling one day. Wherever, noboy knows as of yet

I don't know what to say... I'm not surprised cause its what I've come to expect from the flowamasta!!! Bravo my friend!!! Another AMAZING work of art!!! U r by far the best thing growing, hands down!!!!

Geeez thanx again matey wow what a thing to say!! I'm sure there are many just like me and better!! just gotta connect with your plants after all, they are female..... we aren't SUPPOSED to understand them.... we just give them what they want and if they're happy, we're happy LOL

I've got a little sample of what I have been up to the past couple of days as well:

I thoroughly second what Downinit said too mate, in all my years of growing and seeing other grows, yours stands out as the best, due to your cleanliness and attention to detail! As you said, they are females after all and we dont need to understand them, just help them along and they love you for it!!

Enjoy your time away dude and i look forward to maybe seeing you in my thread once i start my grow
